That same day, Aug. 16, Francisco said Elvis&#8217; death was due to cardiac arrest. (The family had a history of heart trouble: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialappeal.com\/story\/news\/local\/2018\/08\/15\/gladys-presley-tombstone-returns-graceland\/991529002\/\">Gladys Presley, Elvis&#8217; mother, had died of a heart attack on Aug. 14, 1958, at 46<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>According to The Commercial Appeal, Francisco reported that Presley suffered from &#8220;mild hypertension&#8221; and &#8220;coronary disease that had gone undetected,&#8221; and he &#8220;died in a matter of four short minutes of coronary arrhythmia, an irregular beating of the heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><cta-atoms-container-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/cta\" class=\"spacer-large\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The newspaper reported that Francisco concluded that &#8220;there was no evidence of any drug use contributing to his death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"related-link\"><span class=\"exclude-from-newsgate\"><strong style=\"margin-right:3px\">&#8216;AT HOME WITH ELVIS PRESLEY&#8217;: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialappeal.com\/story\/entertainment\/2025\/08\/12\/elvis-presley-at-graceland-photos-memphis-tennessee\/85342518007\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The King shared glimpse into his life and Graceland in 1965<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<partner-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" placement=\"native-article_link\" sizes=\"[[300, 250], [3, 3]]\" min-height=\"250\" fluid=\"\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<p>Nevertheless, investigations by print and electronic media journalists into Presley&#8217;s death began almost immediately. Some news reports attributed Elvis&#8217; cardiac arrest to &#8220;polypharmacy&#8221; (the simultaneous use of multiple drugs), which adversely affected what medical personnel variously referred to as Presley&#8217;s &#8220;enlarged&#8221; heart, his &#8220;clogged&#8221; arteries and his &#8220;hypertensive heart disease.&#8221;<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"600\" outstream=\"\" momentum=\"\"\/>\n<p>The Commercial Appeal reported that lab reports indicated that 14 drugs were found in Presley&#8217;s blood at the time of his death, including &#8220;near toxic levels&#8221; of codeine, morphine, Placidyl and other prescription drugs. The &#8220;overdose of depressants&#8221; likely caused him to pass out in a slumped &#8220;fetal&#8221; position, and &#8220;he died when the drugs, in combination with pressure from his body weight, brought his respiration to a halt,&#8221; according to the evening newspaper, the Memphis Press-Scimitar.<\/p>\n<p>Presley&#8217;s drug habit is now generally accepted as a cause of death. The Encyclopedia Britannica states, simply: &#8220;Elvis Presley died of a heart attack in 1977 brought on largely by drug abuse.&#8221; The Wikipedia synopsis of the singer&#8217;s biography provides this summary: &#8220;Years of substance abuse and unhealthy eating severely compromised his health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><media-gallery-promo asset-id=\"85569544007\" class=\"column ten-column no-gutter spacer-large\"\/><lit-timestamp class=\"column ten-column no-gutter spacer-small\" slot=\"timestamp\" publishdate=\"2025-08-15 10:01:01 +0000 UTC\" updatedate=\"2025-08-15 10:01:01 +0000 UTC\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialappeal.com\/story\/entertainment\/2025\/08\/15\/how-elvis-presley-died\/85410862007\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elvis Presley landmarks to visit in Tupelo: A video tour Take a step into the past in Tupelo as you tour Elvis Presley&#8217;s birth home and see representations of his life take form in both murals and statues.
